Advanced Yoga DVD Time?

When the time comes to invest in an advanced yoga DVD, get two. Choose one advanced yoga DVD that elevates your practice. Then, choose a second advanced yoga DVD that perfects your practice in your yoga style of choice or offers excellent instruction in the spiritual aspects of yoga training.

Are you ready to advance?
Your body and mind will tell you when it is time to graduate from your beginner yoga DVD to something more advanced. They will send both good news and bad news.

Relaying the good news, your body and mind will alert you that yoga practice has become an essential element in your daily routine: If you miss a practice, you genuinely will experience symptoms of withdrawal-mild depression, irritability, and frustration.

You are not imagining these symptoms; they are real. Your body has become dependent on its own endorphins, your feel-good bio-chemicals. When your synapses do not receive their daily dose of feel-good, they send unmistakable signals of their deprivation. When sports psychologists talk about "a positive addiction," they allude to this phenomenon.

Sending you a quirky and paradoxical version of the good news, your body and mind will alert you that the poses and progressions no longer challenge you. Everything has become predictable, relatively easy and effortless. You sometimes "phone in" your practices instead of fully engaging. Therefore, you do not get the same great workout or the same beneficial meditation. Most of all, though, your body and brain will signal just one urgent message: Bored!

Advance. Specialize. Sophisticate.
Taking your practice "up a notch or two" immediately will break through your boredom. Choose an advanced yoga DVD that introduces more difficult, more complicated poses. Choose the one that challenges you to stretch further, hold the asanas longer, move more gracefully from pose to pose, and pay attention to form, discipline, and grace with every move you make.

Naturally, an advanced yoga DVD increases the physical challenge in your practice. When you choose an advanced yoga DVD in your favorite style, it also will increase the emotional, psychological, and spiritual elements in your practice. You learn what it means to discipline the body for the sake of progressing toward enlightenment. The best advanced yoga DVDs increase their emphasis on higher consciousness, the "true" objective of your practice. More complicated poses ought to yield deeper awareness and draw you closer to union with The Divine and Eternal.

Your New Yoga Trainer - Wii Fit

I used to live in New York City and I used to go to some great local yoga classes that were included with my gym membership. I grew to really love yoga. Not only did it help me to achieve a very high level of fitness, it also became something that I really enjoyed doing.

But then I moved out to "the country" and there's no yoga classes to go to here. I tried using some Yoga DVDs as a replacement but I didn't find them very appealing as they lacked the interactivity that I was looking for.

When I heard that the Wii Fit game included yoga training I figured I absolutely had to try it out. Of course I went everywhere looking for a Wii Fit game for my Wii system and I couldn't find it anywhere. I was about to give up when I realized that I could probably buy it online which of course I could so I bought it online and started using it a few weeks ago.

Wii Fit doesn't have just yoga, it also has strength training, aerobics, and balance games and I use all of those as well but of course it's the yoga training that I'm most interested in. I've been using it every day since I got it for at least 30 minutes. I actually find it almost addictive. It's a great challenge to try to perfect my pose (and my balance) for each of the yoga poses (and there's every yoga pose I've ever heard of included.) The game keeps track of how balanced I am for each pose which adds a nice bit of interactivity that was missing from the DVDs.

It's definitely been a great thing to be able to do yoga again. Not only am I enjoying it a lot but I'm also seeing great results physically. On top of that I've realized that it's actually far less expensive than a gym membership or paying for yoga classes. With this you just buy the game once and you can use it as much as you want forever.

Check Out A Child's Way to Yoga for $12.99

A Child's Way to Yoga Review



We got this for my son's fourth birthday. He and his older brother can at least make a good approximation of all of the poses and have a fun time doing it. At least one of them asks to do it daily. Even their baby brother (15 months) seems interested. I really like the background. It looks like they are on a farm. They are all in a big field, outside and it is very casual and relaxed. The songs are upbeat without being annoying or over-loud and distracting. The instructor makes it fun and I like the assortment of kids in the background, each interpreting the yoga moves their own way -- that shows that there are many ways to do the positions.

A Child's Way to Yoga - Kerin L. Slattery -
I teach Kindergarten and use the Yoga video to help them relax after lunch. It is fabulous and the kids LOVE it!!



Sweet and Wonderful - Wendy Louise Nag - Minneapolis, MN
Our 2 year old daughter loves this video. She figured out how to do all of the poses without any instruction from us because the instructor is so clear and simple. The setting is in a grassy park, and the home-spun music is so perfect and non-commercial. Leanne has a life-loving glow about her that makes you smile. It feels like how yoga should be. Not in a fancy studio with music that fades in and out, but just simple. The conversion of yoga poses to animal activities is wonderful. Our 8 month old son loves LeAnne, and his face turns to joy when she introduces herself.



Lacks pizazz - E. Harrell -
The video is basically watching a yoga class for kids who are in a field of a park. The teacher does talk directly to the camera, with some nice close-ups, but otherwise it often feels amateurish. The music that they tout is just a woman singing with a guitar, and it's so soft that it's overpowered by the kids' giggles in the video. And the music is not a motivating factor, instead it's more background noise. Although I wasn't impressed with it, my son (who is 6) chooses it over "Silly to Calm," which is what I like better (it's more professional, and the visuals and music are more dynamic). But I think he likes this one because at one point they pretend to drive in a car, and he also likes the Dead Man's pose. (My daughter, who is 4, seems to be able to stick more with "Silly to Calm") Since I bought it for the kids, it's not a total failure, I just wished it was more pleasing to me!
